It explores the effects that technology and too much time inside is having on young lives and on the life of the planet.... It is hart warming and funny, it will bring you to tears and make you get outside yourself and take some children along for the adventure... I highly recommend this book.

It is Saturday evening September 27th and I am just back from Richard Luv's lecture at CCRI..
I was just wonderful. This is one of the most profound books and topics that should be on all of our minds.

We all see the effects of nature neglect in global warming (among other things).... As Richard Louv said tonight with much hope "everything must change, Architecture, urban planning, education...." We can all make small steps by getting outside ourselves and sharing that with the children in out lives.

Our children are the future stewards of the land.... we have to give them the experiences in nature that will allow them to grow, and care for it and themselves in the kindest of ways.
